God Knows

Joseph Heller plays with time in this. David is one his deathbed, quoting Shakespeare, eating the tacos Abishag makes for him, and reviewing his life. I loved this.

Oftentimes the post-modern tradition's lack of temporal cohesion leads to a redundant style of storytelling. Unfortunately, this book could have been better if it wasn't so long-winded.

One of greatest books I have ever read. It is a FANTASTIC story of the life of King David, written from his point of view. It respects neither time or space rules while transporting the reader into mind, body & soul of the greatest leader in the history of man. Heller is in top form and whether you are Jew or Gentile, you will howl with laughter . . .

Loved Catch 22, and did respect this as a well-written book that was a great idea, but somehow it didn't engage me.
